Hi folks! Just recently finished 7weeks of radiation and 7chemo treatments. I'm having some crabby side effects, I have some neuropathy on left foot and fingertips. Also food or liquid feeling stuck going down esophagus....a general feeling of fatigue and malaise and some mouth sores. Also having frequent nose bleeds. Anyone else with side effects similar? Seeing oncologist today... just curious about others?

Hi Sandy,
I just rent through six weeks and six sessions. I know exactly what your talking about . Especially the stuck in the throat. While this hasn’t completely made it better it has helped. My Oncologist prescribed me “Miracle mouth wash “. It is lidocaine, Benadryl and melox. If they tell you they lidocaine is on National back order call other Pharmacies. I get mine at Walgreens. It will help. Also for the mouth sores. Rinse with baking soda, salt and warm water several times a day. I’m just getting over mine. The pain in my chest (esophagus) is what is getting me. I can swallow but when it gets to my esophagus it hurts so bad that it’s not worth it. I’m going in on my second week of getting fluids. I hope this helped God Bless
